Accessible Technology Initiative

This website is designed to track and document Cal State Fullerton's response to the CSU's Accessible Technology Initiative, a systemwide effort to meet the needs of the disabled members of its constituency.

In January 2006, the CSU launched the Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) in order to develop the work plan, guidance, and resources to assist campuses in carrying out the accessible technology provisions of EO 926. Significant consultation took place in the development of this plan. Those consulted included the Technology Steering Committee (TSC), the Statewide Academic Senate, the Academic Technology Advisory Committee (ATAC), the Provosts Technology Steering Committee (PTSC), the Council of Administration and Business Officers (CABO), Student Affairs Vice Presidents, the CSU Services to Students with Disabilities Advisory .

Systemwide Actions and Resources

As campuses take action to meet implementation goals, the Chancellor’s Office, through the Accessible Technology Initiative, will support systemwide projects that will assist campuses in their efforts. One of these projects is the Center for Alternate Media (CAM), established in 2004 to enable the sharing of accessible formats of textbooks amongst CSU campuses. To further assist campuses, the mission of the CAM will be expanded to include research and development of tools and best practices for the creation of accessible digital content. The name change to the Center for Accessible Media indicates this expanded role. In addition to systemwide projects, the following resources are also available to campuses.

ATI website: Specific guidelines, tools and resources related to the implementation of the three priorities will be available on the ATI website: www.calstate.edu/accessibility

ATI Staff Consultation: The ATI staff will be available to assist campuses in the development and implementation of their plans. Please contact the ATI Staff at ati@calstate.edu.
